About this vendor
Allure Planning Services, based in Dallas, TX, is a wedding planning company. Founder Shonda has been in the coordination industry for more than 15 years, where her passion originally started as a hobby. She wants to create events that will stay in the minds of you and your guests forever.
Shonda got her taste for wedding planning when a family asked her for help coordinating her own special day. Until that point, she had mainly planned vacations and trips for family and friends. After that, Shonda knew that wedding coordination was what she wanted to do full time. She hasn’t looked back since. Allure Planning Services was born out of her desire to help people have the day of their dreams.
From the shower to the honeymoon, Shonda is by your side throughout the entire process. When it comes to the wedding day itself, Allure Planning Services has several packages to assist. Shonda offers day-of coordination for couples who are happy to do the bulk of the planning on their own. At the other end of the spectrum, however, is the full planning package. Through this, Shonda offers full-service coordination for the wedding alongside showers, a pre-wedding party, and honeymoon planning. On top of all of this, she can even organize a makeup artist to help you look and feel your best.

Like most soon-to-be newly weds, we searched for a wedding coordinator through several websites. For those who aren't sure whether they want to hire a month-of-coordinator or not, let me tell you, you don't want to skimp on it. My fiance, now husband (!), and I wanted a DIY wedding and had a strict budget. We were told by many married friends that hiring a good coordinator was a must. I'd heard nightmare stories about vendors swamping the bride with calls, request, etc. on the day of. Shonda was our coordinator and she was so responsive and accommodating. I'm someone that loves being in on the action and helping out, but the week before and day of my wedding, Shonda stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly. Now, I don't have experience with other coordinators, but I will say that from my research interviewing other coordinators, Shonda stands out in a few ways: 1. Value, 2: Responsiveness, 3: Experience. Shonda provided all the services we were looking for in a coordinator at a price that no other coordinator could compete with. She was willing to work with us at all hours of the day and find answers if she didn't know the answer to something. In the end, Shonda's experience coordinating other weddings was very apparent. She never stepped on any toes and was quick to give recommendations when we didn't know how to proceed. Everything didn't go seamlessly, partly due to our lack of clarity regarding detailed timing, but Shonda was able to work with all of our vendor to make last minute requests happen. Despite the hiccups, we couldn't have asked for a more special day. In the end, I still got to marry my best friend, and I hope this review reflects that Shonda did a great job!
Shonda was great!!
We had our wedding 2 weeks ago after having to postpone from June and she was very accommodating with all the changes we had due to covid. Shonda also helped us set up and was there for anything we needed throughout the night.
Shonda was absolutely amazing! I found her services at a wedding showcase. Booking seems like the easiest part but everything about our experience was so easy and amazing. Shonda reached out often and kept on top of things even I would forget about, the day of our walk through and wedding she was there early and was super helpful with all of the last minute planning and ideas. Our day went off without a hitch thanks to her and she was such a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for someone attentive, punctual, creative, and dedicated to making your special day amazing then look no further.
Allure Planning Service saved our special day! I had a last minute hiccup where my day of coordinator bailed on us the week before our wedding. I’m so happy I found Allure Planning Services just 30 minutes later and Shonda was happy to help and stepped in right away. She handled every last minute issue that came up from the moment she stepped in and made our day as seamless as possible. Shonda is always available when we need her, via text, call or email. She served as a point of contact for all of our vendors and coordinated set up and clean up on the day of. She even made sure that we were fed, hydrated and taken care of on our special day. Thank you so much Shonda! You are awesome.
We are so lucky to have found Shonda. Shonda is very professional and is a great officiant. It was definitely a pleasure to work with her. She always checked in with us leading up to ceremony and was very accommodating, as she was open to the different unity ceremonies we wanted to complete on our special day. Thank you for making this a happy and stress-free anniversary surprise. BOOK HER NOW… you will not regret it !
Shonda is awesome. She really is great at what she does. She does it with grace. I am so glad she was apart of our special day. Thanks for everything.
Our wedding was this past Monday and everything was awesome. Shonda came on to help us and didn’t disappoint. She has been so helpful and so great throughout the process. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to work with her and can’t thank her enough for making our wedding day go smoothly. She was very punctual when replying to any texts/emails I sent her. She coordinated with all of our vendors and the venue to ensure our wedding went as planned. She was a quick problem solver and made sure that last minute surprises, which always happen, were not evident to us or our guest because the ceremony and reception were perfect. If you haven’t already, please book her for your wedding day. You won’t be disappointed.
Shonda, was very professional & dependable. She was always available by text, phone, and email. I couldn't have chosen a better planner.
Hired Shonda for my upcoming nuptials. She’s very affordable, professional, and has been holding my hand through this overwhelming process. I couldn’t have chosen a better planner.
